Mybeerbuzz .com Highlights Innis & Gunn Caribbean Rum Cask (Review)

If you love beer and you’re not familiar with Innis & Gunn, you probably should be. Launched in 2003, this Scottish brewery uses oak casks for maturation and many other traditional brewing techniques to deliver some really good beers. Innis & Gunn has now become the 3rd largest craft beer brand in the UK and the number one imported craft beer in Canada.

With that in mind I was excited to get a care package arriving at mybeerbuzz headquarters from Innis & Gunn. The beer we’ll be sampling today is called Caribbean Rum Cask and it is a Scottish red beer that is matured in Caribbean Rum casks. Of course I’m anxious to try this unique combination, so off we go…

Innis & Gunn Caribbean Rum Cask

ABV:  6.8% 
Style:  Red Beer
Packaging:  330ml bottles
Appearance:  Reddish copper
Aroma:   Biscuit malt and Rum
Mouthfeel:   Medium   
Taste:   Rum, chocolate, mild citrus and roasty malt   
Overall:  Innis & Gunn Caribbean Rum Cask has some really unique flavor combinations going on. I found notes of fresh citrus and chocolate with lots of slightly sweet Rum notes on board. There is a roasty quality to the flavors and overall it was a really drinkable yet complex beer that was easy to enjoy.
